Default Quilting thread

I have a question regarding quilting thread. I know that thread comes in various weights and the weight we use depends on the work we're doing - appliqué, machine quilting, hand quilting, etc.

But where on the bobbin do we read the weight of the thread? The bobbin displays in stores put all the machine quilting thread together, hand quilting thread together... but once back home, there's nothing on the bobbin to give us the weight. I have several bobbins of Gutermann 100% cotton quilting thread and by feel only, it's very difficult to tell the weight.

Any help would be appreciated!
